Abstract: A system and method for automated document drafting is disclosed. The method comprises searching text in a document for a term, determining an insertion point for a definition associated with the term, and combining the definition with the text at the insertion point. The term may be a specific term type within a specialized document like a claim term in a patent document. The text structure of the definition for a term may vary from a single sentence without line breaks to a block-level element with multiple paragraphs or lists. The insertion point may vary according to the contextual needs of the definition placement. An inline definition may be next to, or even replace, the term it defines while a block-level element definition may be placed at the end of a document.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling the display of markup on a textual interface measures the difference between edited and unedited text, and utilizes values for hidden-copy tokens to create an incremental scale of values to generate different complexity levels of marked-up text to display on a user interface.
